Overview
A custom night guard may help protect teeth from grinding forces. It does not necessarily stop the grinding behavior.
Dental treatments start with identifying the underlying cause, not selecting a cosmetic procedure in advance. The health of teeth, gums and the bite matters.
Assessment and Planning
Procedure choice, healing and maintenance are individualized; prevention and periodic dental reviews remain essential.
Important Considerations
Potential benefits, limitations and complications must be discussed before treatment. Outcomes and timelines cannot be guaranteed.
Frequently Asked Question
Is this treatment suitable for everyone?
